The Hong Kong Government had asked for an expert. adviser on public assistance even though the Hong Kong Social Welfare Department thought they could/cope on

There might be some public criticism from university professors etc. but the Governor hoped that the FCO would support the measures resolutely. (In a discussion with the Commissioner of Police Lord Shepherd promised his support.)
